Update: AutoSSL & Let's Encrypt

Learn more about how cPanel has changed their provider for SSL certificates issued through AutoSSL in this post from Pilot. Previously they used Sectigo for automatically-issued certs, with Let's Encrypt available as an alternative for users through a cPanel plugin. Let's Encrypt has now replaced Sectigo, and will be the default provider for AutoSSL going forward.

Security Update: Remote MySQL

Due to our new cybersecurity compliance requirements, we have blocked remote MySQL access across our infrastructure. If you are working with Domain of One's Own or Managed Hosting - check out this post by Noah which provides a summary.
